| A HISTORY OF EXCELLENCE We've been excelling as a business training college since 1923 and our reputation and performance continue to prosper. Formerly known as St Patrick's Business College, we were founded by the Sisters of Mercy and later managed by CentaCare as part of the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney. Today, as St Patrick's Institute of Education, we are an independent, not-for-profit educational institution for people of all cultures. We continue to do what we have always done provide the most thorough training in business studies, in particular providing a bridge between school and a career in the business world. Like our students, we have always been high-achievers, with a tremendous rollcall of graduates who we have successfully placed in employment. |

GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT RESULTSOur core belief that change is possible and that the most important and powerful activity an individual can do is to learn and add meaning to their lives. We were all born with a desire to learn - human beings are naturally curious. St Patrick's captures and harnesses this curiosity to enable great performance, great people and great results. St Patrick's works within a framework of shared values that acknowledges individual differences, supports students needs and nurtures the growth of the whole person in a caring atmosphere and learner-friendly environment. |
